Product Information

• Name: 3-Iodobenzylamine hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Iodobenzylamine HCl is a weak anion that has a moderate affinity for the adenosine A3 receptor. 3-Iodobenzylamine HCl is used in the analysis of adenosine, d-xylose and other compounds. The binding of 3-iodobenzylamine to the A3 receptor causes an increase in cyclic AMP levels and an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels, leading to cell signaling. 3-Iodobenzylamine HCl also acts as a competitive antagonist at the A3 receptor. This drug can also act as an agonist at the A3 receptor, with binding affinities for this site comparable to those of adenosine. This drug is able to inhibit cyanamide catalysis due to its ability to bind with fluorine atoms on the acceptor site of this enzyme.
